Hi,
If you have 8 meg of ram and no CPU upgrade then four meg of that ram is overlapping the PCMCIA slots address so wouldnt work.
Try removing the memory card and trying again, if that works then find a 4meg simm and fit that and the side slot should still work.

Oh and adding a CD-Rom drive would be best so keep an eye out for a cheap Squirrel SCSI card.
You would still have the 8meg problem though. :-/
(If you have a parallel zip drive then there is a schematic for a cable to hook it to the Amiga's parallel port)

ok, well as long as your mount list entry is correct (as in its actually trying to use crossdos or Fat95 filesystem) then I would say try a different CF card, Ive seen a few people have trouble with different cards.
If that doesnt work then its checking your software, seeing if you need the reset patch and if the CF card is formatted in fat16/fat32 and not some NT based thing.
